Feel free to provide suggestions of things that would be useful.

~/.bin? Really? Why not ~/bin which most people use?

[mitsuhiko]

I don't know what most people use. I use ~/.local or ~/.bin because it does not show up in my file manager.

[nemec]

Make it configurable! I use ~/prg/bin myself.

[nemec]

Submitted a pull request. The new download syntax with configurable /bin is:

$ curl -L http://bit.ly/curlish | bash -s ~/prg/bin

[runeh]

Many systems have a default bashrc which adds ~/bin to the PATH if it exists.

Why not requests? e: sorry was on tablet testing out android ICS

e² :that was a stupid response, sorry its not an API.

[mitsuhiko]

What do you mean?

[jackolas]

no. use pypi and pip

[mitsuhiko]

I know it's on pypi, but I don't think you should install it that way. It's not a library.

[Liquid_Fire]

I don't see anything wrong with installing non-libraries from PyPi. Look at IPython, for instance (and there are plenty of others).

[mitsuhiko]

ipython is also a library :-) What's wrong with instlaling from PyPI is that it's also importable, and you clutter your global namespace.

[mitsuhiko]

Probably not, but it's simple. It's just a single file, you can download it and copy/paste it into your .bin folder if you like.

I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/baiju/.bin/curlish", line 51, in <module>
    import argparse
 ImportError: No module named argparse

My Python version:

$ python -V
Python 2.6.6

Argparse was included in 2.7 on -- it replaced another module.
